Start the New Year Laughing

Firstly, I've updated my website (www.adam-stephenson.com)
This time it's more Adam-friendly. What that means is it doesn't take a week to update a few little things. I don't care for HTML design anymore and don't want to spend any more time on it than say, the amount of time to write a blog.

So here's what's going on...

Deep River
This is a new web series that Jay and I are digging into. It's not really that new at all, Jay has started it many years ago (100 I think?) and we have shined some light into the darkest possible place to make one kickass story. We have held auditions and have production meetings on the horizon.

Skitzo
The concept and enjoyment of this show sort of happened out of nowhere. During the auditions Jay and I were accompanied by Paul Fedj and Melody Sargent. They have been getting involved with Deep River as well as other projects. Anyways, being two very comedic cats, they started goofing around during our downtime. I flipped the little handicam on and started rolling. Paul and Melody had a project they needed to rehearse which was: Barefoot in the Park.
Well one joke rolled to the next and we decided to take it back to my place and add interviews and character building scenes to what we captured. We used our Canon HD camera so the two footage formats makes for a neat docu/mocku style.
Truth be told, we laughed our asses off editing it. So, we did another one the following week. Then another the following. Now we've decided to make a series out of it and it's called Skitzo.
There will be a homepage for the show with episodes being released weekly. Hopefully, it will build a fanbase and go from there. Seems to have some interest from friends etc.

We have captured alot of footage and are slowly bringing it fruitition.
